Security may gain power
Bill would allow colleges to create police forces
By Bob Elston
Staff Writer
If a new bill passes, University Security officers may gain exactly the same powers as the Los Angeles Police Department, Chief Steven Ward of Security said Friday.
A bill being considered in the California state legislature would amend the penal code, allowing a private university to create and operate a full police force, Ward said.
If the bill is passed, the university's Board of Trustees will need to approve any changes that would give Security greater latitude in enforcing the law in and around campus, he said.
Campus security officers at public universities already have full police officer status.
"(Potential changes) would be giving USC students the same level of protection that state public university security departments can currently provide. In a way, it is a catch-up bill," Ward said, "and basically supported by USC."
Because its police-action power is limited, Security now is required to refer some incidents to LAPD.
"Campus security serves as an adjunct to LAPD," said Greg Schmidt, a staff member of the State Senate Judiciary Committee.
This increased power would give Security officers the authority to investigate criminals much

New diagnostic test checks patients for AIDS in 10 minutes
WASHINGTON — A simple, 10-minute test expected to be licensed later this year uses colors to tell patients if they are infected with the AIDS virus — white for health and blue for medical tragedy.
The test, now undergoing trials at nine centers, will enable people worried about AIDS virus exposure to be tested within minutes at their doctor’s office, instead of having to wait to hear from a distant laboratory.
“It provides a new means for patients to learn of their AIDS status and still retain anonymity,” said Jarel Kelsey, president of Murex Corp., the firm that developed the test. “Once this method is widely available, it will encourage more people to determine their status.”
The new test uses a blood sample obtained from a simple finger stick.

Baker & McKenzie may not conduct campus interviews

The university's Law Center has taken a bold step in banning the nation's largest law firm, Baker & McKenzie, from campus interviews this academic year, a Law Center representative said Friday.
Several other universities have similarly sanctioned the law firm after racist and sexist remarks were made by hiring partner Harry O'Kane during a well-publicized Jan-

Los Angeles residents may not have to "habla espanol" as soon as expected, says a university study, which asserts that the county's Hispanic population is growing at a slower rate than predicted by the U.S. Census Bureau.
The study, conducted during the past year by the university's Population Research Laboratory, determined that the actual increase in the

Student and faculty concern contributed to the Law Center's decision to keep Baker & McKenzie from interviewing during this academic year, said Boyd Rutherford, a third-year law student and president of the Student Bar Association (SBA) at the university.
"The Black Student Law Association went to the dean (Scott Bice) and then expressed their concern to the Student Bar Association," Rutherford said.

The study also confirmed speculation that blacks and non-Hispanic whites are migrating from Los Angeles County.

Engineers get $1.8 million gift
By Roger Tefft
Staff Writer
The School of Engineering has received a $1.8 million grant from the Charles Lee Powell Foundation, a La Jolla-based group that has donated $3.2 million to the engineering school since 1986.
The latest gift, announced last week, will provide additional funding for a program that began three years ago thanks to the foundation, university officials said.
The money is earmarked for three engineering school needs: faculty research, equipment and graduate fellowships.
The foundation has provided money in the past for other programs, such as undergraduate scholarships and building funds, said Tom Gar-row, assistant vice president of development for the School of Engineering.
The recent grant specifies that each year for three years, $225,000 will go to faculty research, $200,000 for equipment and $150,000 for graduate fellowships. Ten $15,000 fellowships will be awarded annually.
University officials are tabulating the Powell grant as part of Campaign for USC, the university's ongoing effort to raise $557 million by 1990.
"The partnership between the School of Engineering and the Powell Foundation is one of USC's most valued alliances," university President James Zumberge said in a written statement.
"This latest grant is typical of the Powell Foundation's foresight and generosity in sup-
